Abstract

Disclosed is an electric actuator casing provided with small appendages (15) of same material, thereby enabling the appendages to be made on a simple way and at a low cost and in one single operation. If such a casing falls down, the impact energy is compensated by the appendages. In some embodiments, depending on the specification, visible fall tracks remain on said appendages (15), thereby allowing for the electrical components installed in the casing (10) to be suspected of having been damaged.

Description

Gehäuse für ein elektrisches Steuergerät mit fallempfindlichen Bauelementen, insbesondere Sensor (en) zum Auslösen von Schutzvorrichtungen in KraftfahrzeugenHousing for an electrical control device with fall-sensitive components, in particular sensor (s) for triggering protective devices in motor vehicles
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Gehäuse für ein elektrisches Steuergerät mit fallempfindlichen Bauelementen, insbesondere Sensor (en) zum Auslösen von Schutzvorrichtungen in Kraftfahrzeugen, nach der Gattung des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1. Aus der WO 93/05399 ist ein fallempfindlicher Sensor bekannt, der zum Schutz vor Beschädigungen, insbesondere durch Herabfallen des Sensors vor der eigentlichen Montage in eine zusätzliche, formschlüssig mit dem Gehäuse des Sensors verbundene Verpackung aus elastischem, Stöße kompensierendem Material eingepackt ist. Diese zusätzliche Verpackung weist mehrere Fortsätze aus elastischem Material auf. Falls der Sensor auf den Boden fallen würde, ist er zwar durch die dämpfenden Eigenschaften der Verpackung geschützt, diese Verpackung ist aber zusätzlich angebracht und vergrößert dadurch die Bauform des Sensors . Dadurch baut der Sensor sehr sperrig und ist nur bei großem Bauraum verwendbar. Die zusätzliche Verpackung ist mit zusätzlichen Kosten verbunden. Vorteile der ErfindungThe invention relates to a housing for an electrical control device with fall-sensitive components, in particular sensor (s) for triggering protective devices in motor vehicles, according to the preamble of independent claim 1. From WO 93/05399 a fall-sensitive sensor is known which is used for protection before damage, in particular due to the sensor falling down before the actual assembly, is packaged in an additional, form-fittingly connected to the housing of the sensor packaging made of elastic, shock-absorbing material. This additional packaging has several extensions made of elastic material. If the sensor would fall on the floor, it is protected by the damping properties of the packaging, but this packaging is also attached and thus increases the size of the sensor. As a result, the sensor is very bulky and can only be used in large installation spaces. The additional packaging is associated with additional costs. Advantages of the invention
Das erfindungsgemäße Gehäuse mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, daß bei nur äußerst geringen oder keinen Mehrkosten und Fertigungsaufwand der Sensor vor Beschädigungen, zum Beispiel durch Herabfallen vor dem Einbau, geschützt werden kann. Die auf den Sensor bzw. auf das Gehäuse bei einem Herabfallen einwirkende Energie kann in einfacher Weise durch die Fortsätze, die aus dem gleichen Material wie das eigentliche Gehäuse bestehen, kompensiert werden. Da die Fortsätze aus dem gleichen Material wie das Gehäuse bestehen, können das Gehäuse und die Fortsätze in einem einzigen Arbeitsgang hergestellt werden. Da bei herkömmlichen Sensoren das Gehäuse meistens aus sprödem Werkstoff, insbesondere Druckguß, besteht und deren Verwendung zulässig ist, ist die Herstellung besonders einfach. Die plastische Verformung oder der Bruch der Zapfen bzw. der Fortsätze kann auch als Indikator verwendet werden, der anzeigt, daß der Sensor bereits einmal auf den Boden gefallen ist und dabei eine bestimmte vorgesehene Energieschwelle überschritten hat. Bei der Verwendung von Aluminiumdruckguß für das Gehäuse können die Fortsätze nahezu ohne Mehrkosten im Gußvorgang mit angebracht werden.The housing according to the invention with the features of independent claim 1 has the advantage that the sensor can be protected from damage, for example by falling before installation, with only very little or no additional cost and manufacturing effort. The energy acting on the sensor or on the housing in the event of a fall can be compensated in a simple manner by the extensions, which consist of the same material as the actual housing.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert. Die einzige Figur zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung eines Gehäuses.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and explained in more detail in the following description. The single figure shows a perspective view of a housing.
Beschreibunq des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment
In der Figur 1 ist mit 10 das Gehäuse eines Sensors 11 zum Auslösen von Schutzvorrichtungen, wie zum Beispiel Gurtstraffer, Airbag, Warnblinkanlagen oder Überrollbügel in Kraftfahrzeugen bezeichnet. Es sind aber auch sonstige fallempfindliche Sensoren, wie zum Beispiel ABS (Anti- Blockier-System) und ASR (Antriebs-Schlupf-Regelung) anwendbar. Als Sensor kann jeder nach verschiedenen Meßprinzipien arbeitende und in der Praxis erhältliche Sensor verwendet werden. Statt eines Sensors kann das Gehäuse 10 auch ein Steuergerät mit elektronischen Bauteilen zur Steuerung eines Antiblockier-Systems oder einerIn FIG. 1, 10 denotes the housing of a sensor 11 for triggering protective devices, such as belt tensioners, airbags, hazard warning flashers or roll bars in motor vehicles. However, other fall-sensitive sensors, such as ABS (anti-lock braking system) and ASR (traction control system) can also be used. Any sensor that works according to various measuring principles and is available in practice can be used as the sensor. Instead of a sensor, the housing 10 can also be a control unit with electronic components for controlling an anti-lock braking system or one
Antriebsschlupfregelung aufweisen. Am Gehäuse 10 sind mehrere flanschartige Laschen 12 angeordnet, mit denen das Gehäuse zum Beispiel in einem Kraftfahrzeug befestigt werden kann. Ferner sind an verschiedenen Stellen des Gehäuses mehrere Fortsätze 15 ausgebildet, insbesondere befinden sie sich auf der Seite bzw. den Seiten, wo die höchsten Beschleunigungen beim Fallen auftreten. Diese Fortsätze bestehen aus dem selben Material wie das Gehäuse 10 selbst, also zum Beispiel aus Aluminiumdruckguß. Ferner sind grundsätzlich spröde Werkstoffe zulässig, die eine plastische Verformung der Fortsätze 15 bewirken. Die Form dieser Fortsätze 15 wird primär durch die Herstellungsweise des Gehäuses 10 bestimmt. Die Fortsätze 15 können zum Beispiel, wie in der Figur, einen rechteckigen oder quadratischen Querschnitt aufweisen. Besonders bevorzugt sind die Fortsätze 15 im Bereich der Öffnung des Steckers 17 angeordnet, um somit die Steckerkontakte zu schützen bzw. zu überwachen. Ferner befinden sie sich im Bereich zwischen den Laschen 12. Es ist darauf zu achten, daß die Fortsätze 15 relativ kurz ausgebildet sind. Bei langen Fortsätzen würden diese die Handhabung des Gehäuses 10 behindern und eventuell zu Verletzungen führen. Kurze Zapfen reichen aus, um die bei einem Aufprall des Gehäuses vor dem Einbau auftretende Fallenergie zu kompensieren. Die Fortsätze 15 sind dabei so auszubilden, insbesondere von der Auswahl des Materials her abzustimmen, daß unterhalb einer gewünschten Energiegrenze diese Aufprallenergie kompensiert wird, ohne daß die fallempfindlichen Bauelemente, insbesondere Sensor (en) geschädigt werden. In besonderen Fällen, abhängig von der Spezifikation, reicht es aus, wenn eine optisch erkennbare plastische Verformung oder ein Bruch des Zapfens eintritt, wenn eine vorgesehene Energieschwelle überschritten wird. Dadurch ist ein einfach erkennbarer optischer Indikator vorhanden, an dem erkannt werden kann, ob das Gerät eventuell schon auf den Boden gefallen ist und eine Beschädigung der elektronischen Bauteile aufweisen könnte. Have traction control. A plurality of flange-like tabs 12 are arranged on the housing 10, with which the housing can be fastened, for example, in a motor vehicle. Furthermore, several extensions 15 are formed at different locations on the housing, in particular they are located on the side or the sides where the highest accelerations occur when falling. These extensions consist of the same material as the housing 10 itself, for example made of die-cast aluminum. In addition, brittle materials are fundamentally permissible, which bring about a plastic deformation of the extensions 15. Form of these extensions 15 is primarily determined by the method of manufacture of the housing 10. The extensions 15 can, for example, have a rectangular or square cross section, as in the figure. The extensions 15 are particularly preferably arranged in the region of the opening of the plug 17 in order to protect or monitor the plug contacts. Furthermore, they are located in the area between the tabs 12. It should be ensured that the extensions 15 are relatively short. In the case of long extensions, these would hinder the handling of the housing 10 and possibly lead to injuries. Short pegs are sufficient to compensate for the fall energy that occurs in the event of an impact on the housing before installation. The extensions 15 are to be designed in such a way, in particular in terms of the selection of the material, that this impact energy is compensated for below a desired energy limit without the fall-sensitive components, in particular sensor (s), being damaged. In special cases, depending on the specification, it is sufficient if an optically recognizable plastic deformation or breakage of the pin occurs when a planned energy threshold is exceeded. This provides an easily recognizable optical indicator that can be used to determine whether the device may have already fallen on the floor and could have damaged the electronic components.
